The Defenders: The Second Wave frames its action around a desperate overnight defense: hold back ghosts through a series of fifty increasingly dangerous waves and survive until dawn. Its three character choices, wizard, warrior, and builder, give the fight distinct roles, while character evolution lets players shape a defender in the direction they choose.
Combat mixes direct attacks with tactical preparation. Players can wield twelve spells, place six battlefield aids, and buy from a selection of twenty-five items to improve their defender. The escalating enemy roster includes more than ten types and five bosses, giving the wave-based structure a changing set of threats rather than a single opposing force. The game also promises a less solemn touch amid the danger, with the possibility of bringing down the moon and sheep appearing in its feature list.
The listed format supports single-player or multiplayer play for up to four people, including shared or split-screen play.
